A Senator in the Making!

Today Domonic was an honorary page in the Texas Senate. Thanks to our senator, the Honorable Kirk Watson, who sponsored Domonic for the page program, and Ms. Judy Roach who helped get Domonic suited up for the occasion, he learned all about senatorial proceedings and was able to accompany a messenger on the floor to view the senators hard at work and conduct some official business (deliveries). Domonic even met Senator Watson and had his photo taken with him.
This was a very special day and I can't help but think Domonic might make a fine member of Congress one day. You have to admit, he's already got the look down. Next thing you know, he'll be shaking hands and kissing babies!

A Hole-in-One (or two)!

The weather was just lovely this weekend: perfect for a couple of rounds of putt-putt at Peter Pan Mini-Golf. Apparently we weren't the only ones with this idea as most of Austin joined us on the course! There were brightly colored golf balls flying everywhere including a green one we lost to the McDonald's parking lot... Fore!
I got off to a good start taking the first 18 holes while Domonic dominated the second (and more challenging) course. He scored two perfect holes-in-one, conquered a rather obstinate Blue Whale and eased past a fierce looking but mild mannered T-Rex. Then we topped our successes off with a root beer and called it day. Thank you Peter Pan for a wonderful afternoon (as always) and the great discount you give to Bigs!
